Episode 76
Friday, 4 September, 2026

What happens when the habits that made you fit begin to harm your health?In this episode, I’m reintroducing myself and sharing the story behind my fitness journey, including the parts you cannot see in a before-and-after photo.I talk about my experience with extreme dieting and reaching an unhealthy body-fat percentage. I looked lean, but I was dealing with hair loss, hormonal issues, and the loss of my period. After my Hashimoto’s diagnosis, I had to rethink my approach to health, fitness, and nutrition.I share what helped me move away from extremes, lose 15 pounds, build definition, and create a lifestyle that supports both my goals and my health.I also discuss our miscarriage in early 2026, how we are navigating the grief, and how this season has affected my health and fitness journey.Share feedback/send fanmailResourcesThe body recomp challenge - waitlist1:1 coaching - The Body Recomp Method6 rules to a successful body recompHigh protein and high fiber cheat s Support the showInstagram | TikTok | YouTube | Pinterest
